NC RUST FREE Car

Well maintained, restored and many upgrades. I have owned this car since 2004. Odometer at that time was 312,202. I have put about 38,000 miles since then. I have a folder as thick as a phone book on all that has been spent and done on this car. Most all of the work was done by me using the OE shop manuals and MB tools. I know every inch of this car. Rust free but for good measure used POR-15 on all suspected rust areas. This car has been in NC all its life. So much has been done and spent and have all reciepts to prove it. Front and rear-complete suspension rebuild, A/C works well and has R12, so many interior upgrades, Sony CD/MP3 player, new speakers, Bosch glass European headlights, much much more, I have spent countless hours in junk yards and ebay finding parts to restore this car. Nice car and rides so good on the highway. Decent gas mileage with the diesel engine. Miles showing are 353k, But miles are nothing on this cast iron tank of an engine since it has been well maintained.
